Made a reservation on Tuesday through Waitlist. Received confirmation texts about my reservation, showed up and found the restaurant closed with a handwritten note on the door.

Don’t go for the food!!! Basic menu. The $35 “flame grilled ribeye” isn’t even close to what’s pictured on the menu and mine was over cooked. For $26 you get six scallops that aren’t even full sized bay scallops, and one of them was halved or quartered. Both of these came with the same bland mashed potato’s and basic veggies. Chili’s and Applebee’s put in more effort than FireFly does. They have $1 beer for happy hour and that’s the only reason I’ll ever go back.

Great menu ideas, but food quality is low and over priced. Tacos were mostly tortilla and meat was chewy, mac and cheese was watery and bland, burger was dry. I really don't feel like I got my money's worth! The elderly staff (owners?) seemed very nice. Place has potential... but some changes need to be made. Atleast in kitchen. It may be a good live music bar?♂️

Local restaurant and bar with good food and live music. Excellent bar with professional service.A good venue, good service, good food, good music, don't know why this place wasn't crowded. It probably will be next time.Plenty of parking.Have a great time!

Friendly staff, Great food. Bar selection is limited but they have enough to make the classics as well as a decent selection of their own cocktails. Beer selection is fairly standard. They often have live music as well.

Rolled into town and was hungry so I hit up Yelp per usual. Firefly came up as close so off I went. Walked in and it was ghost town, I thought I had made a mistake. Went in and sat myself at the bar and in short order the bar keep took my drink order and brought me a menu. I ordered the Cajun. Pork chops, beans and Brussels sprouts. The bar keep was attentive and delightful. She checked on me with regularity and made sure I was good. They brought out my food and I'm here to tell you it was absolutely delicious, all of it. Terrific my prepared and presented, the help was awesome and the environment was great. All's well and I will surely eat here every time I'm in the area.

From the moment you walk in, the staff is friendly & professional. I had the Buffalo cauliflower, trilogy burger and an ice cold Blue Moon. Our server Jake was attentive and made great suggestions. This is our second time here in two weeks and we can’t wait to come again!

Been here several times for dinner and have never had a bad experience. Food and service are always great! Went for Brunch on Saturday and we were not disappointed, it was fabulous! My friend had the BBQ Shrimp and Grits and she absolutely loved them. I had the Stuffed French Toast and it was fantastic. Hands down the best Bloody Mary I’ve had anywhere at the Beach. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Came in for a beer and an appetizer and ended up getting a pleasant Rose wine and a scallop meal! The hubs got some Buffalo chicken sliders and the chicken was amazingly tender. Very good! We will be back. Music was great as well! Thanks for the change in plans!

Finally tried out this new spot that just opened up. It's nice to finally have a place to go listen to live music or watch a Sunday football game. It's a large place with a lot of TVs. When we first arrived there were only a couple ppl in there but it was a Monday so that's to be expected. The staff was great especially the bartender who was super outgoing! We enjoyed talking to him about the business. He let us know that they just started a new 1/2 price bottle of wine special on Monday's which is great. They will also be starting brunch very soon so we will for sure be going back for Sunday football. We were not super hungry so we got the artichoke dip and it was very good. Next time we will try more food. The only complaint I had was that it was extremely dark in there and there was not much of an ambiance. Next time we will be trying it when there is live music.
I was doing research and found this new restaurant that had opened, so we had to try it! We got two drinks, the drinks were blehh, slightly below average. The drinks taste like they are from a local dive bar, I was hoping they would be better! The food was ok, we got the chicken sandwich, side of mac n cheese, mashed potatoes and a burger. The food was pretty basic except the burger, the burger was honestly pretty freakin good. I don't think I would come back for anything else besides the burger. I also wish it was a little cleaner inside, it reminds me of a dive bar. Sticky tables, the smell of bleach, alcohol and wet rags. If they cleaned it up a bit and added more flavor to their food I really think it could be a cool place!

A great new spot in JAX. The staff was excellent. Live band after 8. The beer selection was solid, ended up drinking Duval lights all night. The pan seared herb chicken is spot on. The green beans, carrots and garlic mashed potatoes were all to die for. Good environment with really good people. I would say welcome to jax, but I feel they welcomed me even more. #5stars

Tried this place for the first time. Ordered the calamari. Breading was really good, but calamari was really chewy. Taste was ok. My wife had the Ribeye and loves it!! I had the pork chops looked great! Not so much. She advised they cooked them med/well I asked if I could get mine a little more medium I didn't want them dry. They came out raw!! Not just pink they were bloodied. Our waitress who was great took it back and they re-plated the same chops. Manager didn't even come by to apologize. Not like they were too busy. Only 4 tables were seated. I only gave 2 stars because of my wife's steak and our server. If this is how this restaurant operates, won't be here for long.

First time dining and I will be back again. Everything was seasoned really well. The portions were nice, not too much. The service was excellent. I'm eager to come try more of the menu. This is the kind of place you bring people to when you wanna show off the beach's best.

Awesome burger and Cyrus does a great job behind the bar.
